Amnesty is an automatic path to citizenship.
This is not an automatic path to citizenship.
This is a comprehensive pathway that will bring millions out of the shadows and into the light.
YUMA, AZ -- "First of all, in this debate there should be -- nobody should be given an automatic citizenship -- that's called amnesty. I oppose amnesty. Amnesty would be unfair to those who are here lawfully, to those who have played by the rules. Amnesty would undermine the rule of law. And amnesty would invite a further wave of illegal immigrants."

BS
It is amnesty.
It is allowing illegals to continue their activities unabated, until they pay a fine. It removes none of them. It grants them rights and privileges. Thusly, it pardons their illegal actions. And that is amnesty.
You can parse and nuance and use 'linguist precision' (the new WH buzz phrase) but that is just lipstick on this pig.
